Crimping Die Knipex 97 49 04 for non-insulated plug connectors

Crimping Die Knipex 97 49 04 for non-insulated plug connectors is a replacement/forming die intended for use with Knipex crimping tools that accept interchangeable dies. It is designed to shape and compress non-insulated plug terminals to achieve a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. The die provides accurate crimp geometry to ensure consistent results in professional electrical assembly and repair tasks.

Advantages

This die delivers repeatable crimps with precise alignment, reducing the likelihood of loose connections and the need for rework. Manufactured to Knipex standards, it offers robustness and dimensional stability under repeated use. Its compatibility with exchangeable-die crimping tools facilitates quick replacement and flexibility for varying connector types.

Suitable for

• Crimping non-insulated plug connectors in electrical assembly
• Repair and maintenance of electrical equipment and wiring harnesses
• Workshop and on-site field service where interchangeable dies are used
• Professional technicians working with metal plug terminals that require controlled deformation

Key specifications

• Type: Forming/crimping die for non-insulated plug connectors
• Compatibility: For use with compatible Knipex interchangeable-die crimping tools
• Function: Provides defined crimp geometry for electrical and mechanical contact
• Material and finish: Hardened and machined tool steel for wear resistance and dimensional accuracy
• Application area: Professional electrical assembly, repair, and maintenance

How to use

Install the crimping die into a compatible Knipex crimping tool following the tool manufacturer's instructions to ensure correct seating and secure fixation. Position the non-insulated plug connector and conductor according to the connector manufacturer's guidance, then operate the crimping tool to form the crimp. Inspect the crimp visually and, where applicable, by pull test or electrical continuity test to verify mechanical integrity and electrical contact.

Recommendations

Use dies that match the connector type and conductor cross-section; verify compatibility before use. Maintain the die by keeping it clean and periodically checking for wear or deformation. Replace the die if crimp quality degrades. Follow all safety instructions for crimping tools and perform appropriate testing after crimping to ensure reliable electrical connections.
